MILWAUKEE, Aug. 7 (UPI) -- Rickie Weeks's inside-the-park homer and George Kottaras's solo shot carried the Milwaukee Brewers to a 5-2 win over the Houston Astros Saturday.

The Brewers' offense also got two RBI from Prince Fielder and Corey Hart went 3-for-4 with two runs scored.

Randy Wolf (8-9) went 6 2/3 innings, giving up nine hits and a walk but only two runs to get the win, which was Milwaukee's fourth in five games. Trevor Hoffman got his first save since May 7 by pitching a perfect ninth.

The losing pitcher was Brett Myers (8-7) who coughed up four runs on seven hits in a six-inning start.

Hunter Pence had two hits and drove in a run in Houston's third straight.
